Why choose a fish and chip van in Mount Pleasant?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mount Pleasant
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. For celebrating a big win and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Mount Pleasant, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Mount Pleasant, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Questions from Mount Pleasant
Is Mount Pleasant too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Mount Pleasant?
Sway station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. Visitors love it.
Do you cover Mount Pleasant?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Mount Pleasant and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Mount Pleasant
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
